  Xiao Hua led Lie Teng to the back of the stage, circling around the stairs to enter the second floor. Behind the stage, there were only a few actors putting on makeup. Although Mei Xian Lou was a flower house, this theater was isolated from the flower house. Finally, Xiao Hua stopped in front of a room on the second floor, not daring to look at Lie Teng, and said with her head bowed: "Sixth Prince, Liu Ying is inside." After finishing speaking, she quickly ran away.

  Lieteng stood at the door, hesitated for a moment, and knocked on the door.

  "Come in." A gentle and pleasant voice like jade falling onto a plate came from inside the room, and Lie Teng pushed open the door and walked in.

  As soon as the door opened, a pink hue entered Lie Teng's eyes, with a faint fragrance entering his nose. This fragrance was different from the scent of rouge powder, making him feel especially comfortable, like the scent of a maiden's boudoir. The room's layout was simple: a woman's bed, wrapped in pink gauze; opposite the door, a small window with a delicate lattice; below the window, a square small table; two ancient chairs placed facing each other; and on one chair sat a stunningly beautiful woman, her eyes filled with tender emotions as she gazed at Lie Teng.

  "Miss Liuying, what brings you here?" Lie Teng swept his gaze around the room and then fixed it on Liuying, getting straight to the point. Although he was taken aback by her beauty, it didn't stir his heart; perhaps, from the moment the previous emperor passed away, Lie Teng's heart had already withered before its time.

  It was as if a veil had been lifted, and the true nature of Lie Tong was revealed. The Lie Tong before her eyes now seemed like a completely different person, no longer untamed but instead exuding an air of stability. This made Liu Ying's thoughts wander - could this be the real Lie Tong?

  Lieteng's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he said in a low voice: "Liuying young lady, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."

  Liuying's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, and her gaze at Lie Tong became strange. She was confident that as long as she wanted to, she could make any man in the world fall under her pomegranate skirt. Although Lie Tong had a smiling face before, Liuying felt that his heart was extremely cold, as if he didn't like women, which made Liuying have some wild thoughts. Seeing Lie Tong really turn around and leave, Liuying hurriedly called out: "Sixth Prince, wait."

  Lie Teng stopped in his tracks and said without turning around, "Speak if you have something to say."

  "I'm really curious about the Sixth Prince, the former useless prince can actually take down the Southern General's powerful punch, the Sixth Prince is hiding something deep. " Liu Ying's face floated with a faint smile, slowly standing up, her curvaceous body exuding a mature charm, making people imagine and wish to peel off that layer of veil to see her appearance."

  Lieteng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, showing some impatience. He turned his head to look at Liuying and said, "Miss Liuying, don't you think this is quite annoying? Remember, she's just a courtesan!" After finishing speaking, Lieteng left without looking back.

  She stood still, a bitter smile spreading across her face. Her exquisite features didn't reveal any anger, but instead slowly sat down, propping up her chin with her fist, gazing out the window and smiling bitterly: "A courtesan?"

  That night, the wind was bright and the lights were shining brightly, presenting a joyful atmosphere. In the depths of the imperial palace, Lie Teng sat on the top floor of the pavilion, his eyes closed tightly, his heart silently reciting the Great Way Song, hoping to gain some insight from it. After a while, Lie Teng didn't get any of what he wanted from it, and gradually fell into a deep sleep.

  When Lie Tong woke up, he found three poles on the roof. Suddenly, he thought that today was the day of Lie Qin's great joy, and Lie Tong jumped up and stepped forward, floating down like a feather, and flew quickly towards the front. When Lie Tong arrived at the Taihe Hall, it was already crowded with people, and the front of the originally spacious hall was almost packed with people.

  "Kowtowing to heaven and earth"

  "Bowing twice in front of the ancestral hall"

  The sound of "husband and wife bowing" echoed through the sky, on the main road leading to the Taihe Temple, officials of the Liefeng Empire stood on both sides. Lie Qin was beaming with joy, still wearing his golden armor as he had requested, looking majestic. Beside him stood a petite woman, her face hidden behind a red veil, but her curvaceous figure outlined a perfect curve, making those young nobles eager to rush up and lift the veil for a glimpse of her beauty.

  After the complex etiquette was completed, the emperor suddenly raised his eyes and looked down at the lower part, his face sternly shouting: "Play the music!"

  This is the grand ceremony of the Dragon String Continent's imperial prince, where he invites the best dancers from all over to perform.

  "Please invite Mei Xian Lou Hua Wei Liu Ying young lady to perform a piece." The sharp and delicate voice sounded again.

  The crowd's sudden commotion made Lie Teng pause, and he wondered, "Is that really Flowing Swallow, the famous courtesan from Mei Xian Lou?" According to Lie Teng's understanding, courtesans were not allowed to perform at royal weddings. But now... Lie Teng pushed his way out of the crowd and saw that Flowing Swallow was already standing on stage, slightly bowing her head in greeting. Today, she wore a pink gauze dress that made her look exceptionally fresh and elegant. Her hair was styled in double buns, and her slender yet delicate body seemed to radiate an aura of nobility. Gone was the seductive charm of before, replaced by an air of high-class elegance that left people breathless. The stunning beauty on stage had rendered the audience speechless, their eyes fixed on Flowing Swallow with a mixture of shock and admiration. Even Lie Teng's gaze wavered, his eyes darting about in distraction. Just moments ago, the aristocrats were still debating how a courtesan could possibly perform at a royal wedding, but now they all stood agog, their mouths hanging open as they stared at Flowing Swallow's beauty.

  "Now, I have the honor of being invited by His Highness to perform a piece for everyone. The name of this piece is 'Seeing You Off'. The sound of Liu Ying's guqin was as clear and crisp as silver bells, moving people's hearts. Liu Ying's gaze swept across the crowd, falling on Lie Teng, blushing with a smile, her eyes containing a hint of melancholy."

  Liu Ying was able to enter the grand hall, no more than the request of King Liè Qín. Liè Qín knew that every day at noon, Liè Téng liked to go to Mei Xian Lou to listen to Liu Ying's performance, so he invited Liu Ying over to give Liè Téng a surprise.

  "Ding..." The sound of the guqin rose, and Liuyue's fingers danced on the strings, playing out a beautiful and unparalleled melody that left the scene in stunned silence, with only the sound of Liuyue's guqin echoing through every corner of the imperial palace.

  The entire imperial court, from high to low officials, was oblivious, but in the clouds above the Taihe Temple, a tall and majestic young man with an iron face stared down below. This young man seemed to be able to see through the clouds to the royal wedding ceremony beneath, and the drunken gaze of the nobles made his facial muscles twitch. In a cold voice, he said: "Can these ordinary people appreciate the music of my junior sister's zither?"

  The sound of Liuxiang's guqin came to an abrupt halt, and the many officials and nobles present still lingered in the lingering, melodious sound. The scene was eerily quiet, with Liuxiang's gaze slightly raised, looking towards the sky, her face subtly changing expression. She let out a sigh, intentionally or unintentionally casting a glance at Lie Teng, who stood there with his eyes closed.

  "Sister, Master has ordered me to come and take you back. Is the fantasy of emotions almost complete?" Suddenly, a thick voice came from the sky, like thunder, echoing throughout the imperial city. The officials and nobles who were immersed in the sound of the guqin were shocked awake, looked up at the sky, and when they saw a burly man floating in the air, everyone was stunned.

  Lieteng opened his eyes wide, and when he saw the man in the air, Lieteng was like a thunderbolt, his whole body trembling, as if he didn't dare to believe his own eyes. He rubbed his eyes fiercely, and when he found that the young man in the air was still there, Lieteng was completely stunned. He muttered: "Is it true...that there are immortals in this world? Is it possible for one to live forever? What that old man said is true, it's true!" A wave of excitement and unspeakable emotions swept through Lieteng's entire body, washing away his despair, leaving only shock, excitement, and determination. Lieteng clenched his fists tightly, the muscles on his arms bulging.
